history of ballet
Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. The word ballet comes from the French word ballette, meaning "little dance". It was first used in reference to an Italian dance form of the early 17th century.
The earliest recorded use of the word 'ballet' to designate a theatrical performance is by Jean-Baptiste Lully, music director to Louis XIV, who wrote a ballet comedy entitled Le Ballet de la Nuit (The Night Ball) in 1653. Dancers performed as courtiers, mythical creatures and astrologers up.
Lully is credited with inventing the five-position method of ballet technique, which is still used today. Although ballet is a formalized form of dance with specific techniques and vocabulary, it has also been influenced by many other dance traditions, such as African and Asian dances.
The first professional ballet company was the Paris Opera Ballet, founded in 1669 by Louis XIV. The most famous ballet dancer of the late 19th century was Anna Pavlova, who toured the world with her own company.
Today ballet is performed all over the world, but most classical ballets are based on stories from European folklore.
There are many different types of ballet, including narrative ballets (like Swan Lake), character ballets (like Coppélia), and abstract ballets (like The Four Seasons).
